Tentative theory: private v. public property.
The Borough of Westminster is actually *private* property, owned
by the Duke of Westminster. All property in it is leased, rather
than freehold. Furthermore, if by "square" you mean the enclosed
park area within the railing fence, it may well be a private
area for the houses which surround it, a bit like a body
corporate common property.
Shopping malls are private property, as distinct from strip
(UK: high street) centres.

They're flattering themselves, if your malls are anything like
our malls. (Well, they are. An Australian multinational owns
many of them.)
